Well, Gay to the Wood will be along soon with GRAPHS, but for now just go to

and replace 53 with your user id.

Huh. 4.5 million. Put in a third box that divides the first by the second. That's a more interesting statistic and I can't be arsed to do it myself.

Gaywood has that data. I'm not going to do it because you called a cell a 'box'. And failed to add one to three.

Wonder who's top of average characters/post. I have my suspicions.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38595

2.4 million for me. Mostly me telling Chinny to get fucked

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 18:04

Top chars per post user is (once you get rid of spam accounts) La Revanche, which isn't a surprise.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 18:05

"Only" 4,971,580 for me. So 184.5 characters per post, on average.

This post is 101 characters long, for reference.

Lowest chars per post (CPP) average is 141.4 (for people with > 500 posts). Guess who that is?

My character to post ratio makes DavPaz look like a big one-liner spazzer.

Is there any way to get a word count as well? That's more meaningful, isn't it?

Malabelm · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 18:09

3,343,266 chars, 9,812 posts, ~340 chars per post.

Excel jockeys can get the XLS and get sniffy about the fact I didn't use a pivot table (I couldn't make filtering on column X whilst plotting column Y work in 2007 -- I haven't used pivot tables in ages.)

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 18:13

3,233,672 for me.

Snappy posts!

Ahem. I think you'll find my code to strip nested quotes worked completely flawlessly.

I'm actually quite surprised I'm not in the top 100 for average character numbers, what with all of my game-defence arguments. I guess I used to be "snappier".

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38595

If you look down the list, most of the 'big number' posters are absent. I reckon frequent posting causes lower character count.

And low sperm count

kalmar · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 18:29

I don't trust those numbers. Run it again!

myp · **Posted:** Wed Nov 03, 2010 18:38

I love it that John Coffey has posted more characters than me in 18,000 fewer posts.

Not bad. I'm hovering around about three quarters of a Tolstoy (or 5.4 Conrads), but a long way behind Glyndwyr, who's coming in close to a NanoJoyce.

I don't understand any of this... but I'm on the second graph.
